Basic T-shirt class



  Whether it is crew neck, scoop neck or v-neck; short or long sleeved; fitted or relaxed, once you have made one top, you can make any style top.  And you can make any size you want from the youngest little one to the biggest man in your life.  Come learn the basics of making a T-shirt and start making clothes  that fit and you love to wear!
What happens in each class.

1.  In the first class you will start with measuring to determine the correct sizing. Next, we will trace our pattern & cut out the pieces.


2.  In the second class you will sew your shirt on either a sewing machine or a serger, - your choice. You may borrow a machine or bring your own.  If you bring your own, make sure it is in good working order--cleaned/adjusted-- and capable of zigzag stitch. Bring your standard foot and an overlock foot if you have one.







Supply List:
Pattern (there are a number of patterns for knit tops available such as T-shirt tops.)
Pre-washed lightweight knit fabric in the amount shown on your pattern (wash your fabric and dry it just as you will your top after you have made it)
Easy Pattern (Tracing) Paper
Size 75/11 or 80/12 Ball-point
or stretch needles. Double-needle if you wish to use for the hems of your shirt.
Ribbing
if desired (do not pre-wash)

Polyester Thread to match your fabric

Your Basic Sewing Kit is nice, but if you haven't assembled one yet, at least bring sharp scissors, pins, seam ripper, a tape measure, and a smile.
